Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
- Widlene Alexis Earle is in the care and legal guardianship of Canadian citizens for more than 8 years;
- Legislation in Dominican Republic (country of birth) has stripped Widlene of rightful citizenship;
- Haiti (country of ancestry) has denied citizenship for Widlene for being born out of the country;
- As a stateless child of Haitian decent, Widlene is subject to violent immigration sweeps by Dominican government;
- As an unwelcome, stateless child in Dominican Republic, Widlene has access to none of the basic human rights outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
- Due to the lack of access to human rights, Widlene is in imminent danger of exploitation, marginalization, racism, sexism, and deportation; and
- All necessary requirements to grant Widlene access to Canada have been submitted by Widlene's father, Vaden Earle, at the Visa Application Centre in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on August 21, 2017, under the reference number V318314376 / D300071408.
